Never gets any less weird that 'Escape (The Piña Colada Song)' and 'Voodoo Ray' were released in the same decade.

On train. Obnoxious little loudmouth with gelled back fashboy haircut, an Audi in human form, has just been told very calmly and wittily by a woman that he's so loud he should be on stage in a theatre. 👌
Also since Orr is an academic at Cambridge who has actually been caught lying I look forward to the month of hounding on a deeply personal level and strokey chin pontificating about whether any white men should even get to be professors
Now imagining this song done by Madness.

Well, happy 29th anniversary to the greatest ‘reverse ferret’ ever issued by a media outlet
AITA for drinking up and leaving when a stranger sharing a table in a (non foody) pub disappears for a bit and comes back with a huge smelly takeaway pizza in a box and starts munching it inches away from my face, without even acknowledging me or saying something like "sorry, do you mind?"
Slowly working my way through every available UK top 40 hit on one of those post Napster MP3 databases, circa 2002. No idea who they were. Thought it was a pisstake. Fell in love with it.
44 years on, ‘Party Fears Two’ still sounds astonishing… when and how did you first hear it? 🎶 m.youtube.com/watch?v=rpY2...
Jacket very much required. Happy inverse Phil Collins day to all who celebrate.
This positively reeks of getting bullied for still collecting Monster In My Pocket figures and Micro Machines when the neurotype thing was to listen to Pearl Jam, smoke cigs nicked from your dad and grow rubbish sideburns.

Dolly Parton is proof that rich people can do good stuff for the world whenever they want, but most of them are just bad people
Make a band bigger Jupiter Rev
Make a band bigger Maroon 8
Then they came for the sarcastic people and I was like oh great that's exactly what we need right now well done to all concerned.
Well, I own several t-shirts last washed six PMs ago (Cameron) and a couple from eight (Blair). My mum's still got a wee jumper of mine not worn for ten (Thatcher). I will wear them all again.
I have a pair of jeans that were last washed four Prime Ministers ago.

It really is unbearably pathetic how we have people publicly justifying their turn to fascism on the basis that they once saw “pregnant people” on a website.
All my lazy teenage boasts Are now high precision ghosts And they're coming round the track To haunt me

Rod Liddle was one of the very worst people I have ever met. An absolute toilet of a man. I'd feel sorry for his family, but I suspect they're relieved the fucker's gone. Rust in piss, you talentless, nasty cunt.
1) All bands with a female lead singer and 'Sleeperblokes' are automatically excellent. 2) Bob Dylan should have stuck to songwriting and nothing else. 3) The Sex Pistols are better than The Clash.
Hot takes are annoying, tell me a strong opinion you had about music at some point in your life that changed
Can you imagine how much of a story it would have been if Reform had won the Manchester mayoral contest. And for a while it looked not only possible but in some ways probable looking at the polls a few months back. And yet they were trounced. They got nowhere near. That should be a big story.
